TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JESSEBOOHER, of Dayton, in the county of Montgomery, in the State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Tub for Flowers and Shrubbery; and I do hereby declare that the following is a. full ondexuct description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon. I

The nature of my invention consists in uniting the Wooden stoves of the tub by means of o grooved castiron bottom and top plate, held together by rods of iron extending from the bottom to the top.

v To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention,,I will proceed to describe its construction and operation. v

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the tub with a section of the upper part cut away.

Figure 2 represents a top view ofthe cast-iron plate.

A represents the top plate, having handles, d d, on either side, and a groove on the under side for the reception of the ends of the woodcn-steves e. Thecast-iron plate 13 forms the bottom of the vessel, and is supported on legs cast with the bottom This bottom is perforated, and has it groove identical with that of the plate A, and is used for the same purpose. These grooves may be angular or circular, and into them are fitted wooden staves. When this is done a. series of iron rods,ff, connect the top and bottom plates, thus forming a neat and substantial vessel in which to grow shrubbery or flowers. The edges of the staves are grooved, and when brought together form an orifice for the rods, which ere fztstenedby either riveting or by nuts. The tub here represented is constructed with twelve sides, and they may be constructed of any desir'ztble form.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The cast-iron plates A-and B, and their arrangement with reference to. the. sta'ves e and rods in the manner substantizi-lly as and for the purpose described,
